Occupation Investigation On Becoming A Police Officer - 790 words
Occupation Investigation on becoming a Police
Officer I respect police officers; I always have
and always will. I have always looked up to and
wanted to become part of the RCMP. The position of
representing the law would bring out my pride to
large extents that not even I could imagine.
Police officers help to protect citizens and their
property, maintain public peace, prevent and
detect crime. They apprehend those who break the
law, process court requirements, handle traffic
problems, enforce regulations, and act as agents
of social change within the community to promote
safer neighborhoods. In their daily work, police
officers perform many duties ranging from
enforcing the law and apprehen ...

2/11/99 Engl. 108 Final Essay Society's Influence
Throughout time society has played a major role in
determining what are to be the expected and
appropriate actions of a person. Social pressure
is common in every facet of life. It influences
our every decision in some way, be it positive or
negative. Sometimes we are pressured into doing
something that we would not normally do even
though we know it's wrong. In the short stories
"Salvation" by Langston Hughes and "Shooting an
Elephant" by George Orwell, there are strong
examples of society pressuring people into doing
something that they would not normally do and that
they don't want to do. The short story "Salvation"
is about a twelve year ...

Abortion Prochoice Views - 1,417 words
Abortion - Pro-Choice Views Introduction From 1973
to 1987, over 22 million abortions have been
performed. Pro-lifers would call that a terrible
waste of human life. True, 22 million lives were
taken, but I believe that we are better off
without those. Please let me explain in the
following report. What is abortion? Webster's
dictionary defines abortion as "the expulsion of a
nonviable fetus." Abortion might possibly be the
most controversial topic right now. I'm sure by
now that you've heard of all the different types
of abortion. Almost all abortions performed in the
US are surgical abortions, where the fetus is
removed by suction or other means. (Medication
offers another option, to be di ...

Accomplice Liabilty - 2,655 words
... er to determine the legislative intent behind
this statute. There is no concrete history for the
present code but the court relied on commentary
from the tentative draft of the Alaska Criminal
Code revision. The commentary states, "Subsection
(2) codifies the current case law that one is
liable as a traditional 'accomplice' if he acts
'with intent to promote or facilitate the
commission of the offense'." Alaska Criminal Code
Revision Part II, at 31 (Tent. Draft 1977)
(citations omitted) quoted in 818 P.2d 691, 692.
This comment is persuasive because prior to the
revision every time the Supreme Court of Alaska
defined the mens rea requirement for an accomplice
it stated that one has to ha ...

Adoption: Nature Or Nurture - 1,361 words
Adoption: Nature Or Nurture? Adoption: Nature or
Nurture? By Clay Cooper 12/2/00 Are parents those
who give birth to a child or those who care for a
child? Does nature or nurture make a woman a
mother? As more and more heartbreaking tugs-of-war
between biological and adoptive parents surface,
anyone searching for a baby has good reason for
concern(Casey 119). Baby Jessica was raised from
infancy by adoptive parents, Jan and Roberta
DeBoer. For two and a half years Jessica was at
the heart of one of the most bitter custody
battles in America, caught between the parents in
Michigan who reared her and the parents in Iowa
who gave birth to her and wanted her back
(Ingrassia and Springen 60). Car ...

Affirmative Action - 3,345 words
... Aguilar 1. Affirmative action should be
eliminated (Sadler 70). Affirmative action does
not solve discrimination problems; on the
contrary, it harms those the program is meant
help. The program divides society into two groups
based on ethnicity; this completely defies the
effort to have a color-blind America (where
society does not see ethnicity or a color
difference in any person). Disguised as an equal
opportunity program affirmative action
discriminates against non-minorities. Affirmative
action has its affects in collegiate admissions
and employment, however, remains more
controversial in college admissions. Many groups
protest the abolishment of affirmative action for
sake of higher ...

only four years ago on a Friday night in a small
redneck town just west of Atlanta. We had just
moved to a new home in the same city. My younger
brother had a friend, whose name is Jason, spend
the night at our new home. As the Friday evening
wore on, I mostly stayed in my room on the
internet. I did the best as I could to be as
anti-social as I could. However, at last, all of
the people I was talking to on CompuServe signed
off and I was left all alone. Therefore, as hard
as it was for me to go to my brothers room and
play with him and his friend, I did it. I had a

Auto Reck - 758 words

congested society, automobile accidents are an
often sight that most people dont even blink an

technological advancement in the automotive and
medical fields were nowhere near where they are
today. In his poem Auto Wreck, Shapiro has taken a
personal experience from some point in his own
life, and has described it for us. This poem is
very highly organized into sections by what is
going on in the accident scene. The first stanza
of this poem is very descriptive of an ambulance

Without addressing this contention, the same

Canada remains united. The assumption that Quebec
voters would not accept the economic costs and
risks of separation and were not subject to
romantic sentiment on this issue proved wrong.
Until a week before the referendum, virtually no
